New Project Announcement

[dannysgirlsg1]

 Please, if you are fandom inclined, and have a least some appreciation for Michael Shanks, take the time to read this. :)

Alrighty, y’all…I have a new project endeavor for everyone to take part in…

Back in June, I came up with the idea to make a birthday video for the wonderful, amazing, always awesome Lexa Doig. It was a project that had to be done ‘secretly’ because Lexa follows me on Twitter and I wanted it to be a surprise (true, she wasn’t tweeting at the time, but knowing my luck I would’ve blabbed about it right out for all to see and she would’ve come on). This all came together a mere week before her birthday…and it went off rather brilliantly. I got enough people interested in the project to make a damn decent video. And it was confirmed at this past Dragon*Con by Lexa herself that the video was received and that she had loved it (it even made her teary-eyed).

Well it has been my intention, since I was working on the Lexa video, to make an equally awesome birthday video for Michael as well. I talked about it with ‘Fearless Leader’ (Lexa, for those not in the know) at D*C, and she loved the idea. So here’s things…

I want to make a Happy Birthday video for Michael. I want it to be epic. I want as many people as possible to participate. That is why I am announcing it now, THREE MONTHS before his birthday (which is December 15th, for anyone who didn’t know). The need for ‘secrecy’ is expressed, but not as much as a necessity because we all KNOW he doesn’t tweet or really use social networking sites at all.

Anywho, I am just looking for those interested in participating in this happy birthday endeavor at this point. I want (and need) to start gathering a list of all those interested or dead set on being involved.

If you wish to receive a detailed email about this project - the timeline, the rules (yes, there are rules…it can’t be helped), the down and dirty (possibly naughty? ;) ) of all of it - please send me a message (can be comment or PM) with your email address so I can send you the information.

I got a decent amount of participants for the Lexa Birthday Video within less than a week’s time. I’m hoping to get more for this project (it’ll be more work for me in the long run, but WELL WORTH IT).

Hope to hear from you guys soon!

Please, repost at will…I need the message to get around, and I can’t do THAT without y’alls help. But make sure all people interested in participating are directed back MY way so I can receive their information discreetly (I know how some people are about sharing their emails publicly).

Sincerely,

Your Faithful Shanksopedia, Pip

I'll help out again, as long as you don't mind something like a drawing or what not as I am not one for the camera. :P

[dannysgirlsg1.livejournal.com]

Yeah, another drawing/sketch will be fine. :)

LoL...it helps that there's plenty of time between now and when I'll expect to receive entries.

[djfavorite.livejournal.com]

I'm interested. The key is having the time. But luckily you are asking early enough, I should be able to find some time. (Just too short of notice for Lexa, I was too busy.)

[dannysgirlsg1.livejournal.com]

[godzchild96.livejournal.com]

Hi Pip,

I have never ever done anything to help this way before, but me and Chloe both feel we absolutly want to. I'll get Chloe to draw a picture as it's something she'd love to do and I'll just hide behind her when she does her thing.
She was going to do one anyway for the con in november and give it to him, hah! I know, she can use that for your vid and still give whatever she is going to make when she goes there (hopefully) I got cried at all night when I booked as she thought she wasnt going to go.

So, what, we use skype vid or something and post it to you?

Here's my email address just incase!
